Companionship Volunteer (Hospice)

AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF OUR CARE AT KINDRED HOSPICE IS HAVING EMPATHETIC VOLUNTEERS. THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND AND SHARE THE FEELINGS OF SOMEONE WHO IS EXPERIENCING LOSS. THESE SPECIAL VOLUNTEERS KNOW FIRSTHAND HOW MUCH IT MEANS FOR SOMEONE TO SIMPLY BE THERE FOR THEM AND IT MEANS SO MUCH! SOMETIMES THE FAMILY AND CAREGIVERS ARE STRUGGLING MORE THAN THE INDIVIDUAL RECEIVING HOSPICE CARE. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE PATIENT VISITS, CAREGIVER RELIEF, PARTICIPATING IN ACTIVITIES WITH THE PATIENT (PUZZLES, CARDS, READING, GAMES, MUSIC, ETC.), COMPANIONSHIP, PHONE CALLS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANCE. VOLUNTEER DAYS AND TIMES ARE FLEXIBLE AS WE WILL WORK WITH YOUR SCHEDULE! SHARING SOME OF YOUR TIME AND HEART WITH THOSE THAT NEED IS SO HELPFUL AND APPRECIATED!

This is a volunteer/unpaid position.
